Some of the codes used in the default style are not ideal. I think the
Garmin polygon code 0x09, which, without a TYP file, shows as "Marina"
on Garmin software that chooses to show such things, should be used to
represent a marina - OSM tag leisure=marina.
If this is done, then other codes need to be used for
 leisure=water_park
and
 leisure=swimming_pool | amenity=swimming_pool
There are a lot of polygon codes that represent various forms of water
(0x28 .. 0x49) and many of these are unused by the default style. I use
0x2a for water_park and 0x3e for swimming pool.

I don't see a problem with using the same code for landuse=retail
and highway=services; a service area has a mix of shops (including fuel
sales), parking etc, much like a retail area. 
However, as you note, the translations are not consistent - they should
be Retail, rather than Rest Stop.

Good - hope the other languages gradually get improved to say River
